• Few days ago, i get frustrated when i was trying to install borland turbo c++ 3.0 in my windows 7 64 bit,then i found a really interesting way to use to use in windows 7.

The problem to run turbo c++ is that it was made for windows 3.0 which runs 16bit  softwares but now windows vista/7  didn’t support 16bit softwares .

The solution to run it is called dosbox x86,it was more known for running dos games in latest windows editions but we can use it for running turbo c ++ also.

so,here we go with the tutorial:

1. Download & install dosbox click here to download & install it.

2. Make a folder,suppose turboc++ [C:turboc++tc],here we have made a folder turboc++ & put tc in it.

3. Run dosxbox.exe from shortcut on desktop ,it will open a window like command prompt .

4. Type there Z:> mount c c:turboc++

// here we have given made virtual path of it ,c: is the original path here & c is the virtual path.

5. Now you will get message :: Drive C is mounted as a local directory c:Turboc++

6. Type c: to shift to c drive.

7. Now you should get C:> as default directory path instead of Z:>.

8. Type below commands now:

cd tc

tc or tc.exe [this will start turbo c++].

Run Turbo c from Dosbox automatically :

10. Now when you close it ,you have to follow same procedure again that i am not expecting you will like to do.

For This:

• Go to START menu or press key between left ctrl & left alt having window logo on it.
• It will open a search box,type there “edit configuration”.
• You will see dosbox logo with edit configurations in search results ,click on it.
• Go to at last of it ,type:
• mount c c:turboc++

  d

  cd tc

  cd bin

  tc

• To use it in full screen mode :  Go to “Edit Configuration “as procedure above.
• It will open a file in notepad, near about 20th line having   Full Screen =False .
• Set Full Screen= True and save it by ctrl+s.

Please Note: Never use ctrl+f9,alt+f9 shortcuts for running compiling/runnig your program,it will close your turbo c.
